Don, (on my dulcimer)

I know!! All that junk is worth a fortune now. I bought the Star Wars lunchbox for $1.50 at a Salvation Army thrift store. But I think I depreciated it some when I punched a hole in the metal to put the neck wood into the box like a dowel rod would run through the body of the banjo-head rim. (I anchor it with 2 screw-eyes going through the metal on the other side of the box and screwing 'em into the wood.)

I threw the thermos bottle away to make room for the rubber chicken I always pulled out of the lunchbox when (as it always did) the kid's attention wandered. (I always said that kids and drunks in folk clubs had the same attention span!)
